1/48 Goshawk Resin Update Set

for Lindberg Curtiss F11C-2 Goshawk

Product announcement by Mark Buchler

NOW AVAILABLE!
Resin Update Set for Lindberg's 1:48 scale Curtiss F11C-2 Goshawk

This limited run update set includes everything you need to transform Lindberg's outdated classic kit into a realistic representation of the Curtiss F11C-2 Goshawk that you can be proud of. The set includes 15 cast resin pieces, plus a vaccuum-formed clear styrene windscreen. The set address several issues found in the Lindberg kit:

  • 1. The set's new wheels and wheel farings are the larger, more common type, which were used on aircraft operating from carriers.

  • 2. An engine cowl is provided for those who wish to replace the undersized Lindberg engine/cowl with an aftermarket Wright engine (I recommend the QuickBoost Wright R1820 (#QB48058).

  • 3. A new propellor is provided to replace Lindberg's undersized propellor.

  • 4. Cockpit components are included, whereas Lindberg's kit only provides the builder with a highly inaccurate seat.

 

The cost of the set is $15, plus $6 shipping & handling to anywhere in the USA. Payment can be made via PayPal through my e-mail address (mbuchler@sbcglobal.net), or by check or money order, in U.S. funds only. Check or money orders should be sent to and made payable to:
